Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 1 medium sized head of purple cabbage, about 6-8 cups once shredded
  • 1/2 small red onion, thinly sliced
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh dill, or herb of choice

Dressing

  • 1 tablespoon tamari, or soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil, or neutral flavored oil
  • 1/4 cup red wine vinegar
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Cabbage: Remove any outer layers of the purple cabbage if needed, then cut the cabbage into quarters and remove the solid core. Thinly slice the cabbage using a knife, mandolin, or food processor, and add it to a large bowl.
  2. Add Remaining Ingredients: Add the thinly sliced red onion, chopped fresh dill, olive oil, red wine vinegar, and tamari to the bowl with the cabbage. Mix thoroughly until the cabbage is evenly coated with the dressing.
  3. Season and Serve: Season the salad with salt and black pepper to your taste. You may enjoy the salad immediately or refrigerate it for up to 5 days. Allowing it to chill a few hours enhances the flavors.

Notes

  • This salad is best enjoyed fresh but can be stored refrigerated for up to 5 days.
  • Feel free to substitute fresh dill with other herbs like parsley or cilantro.
  • Use tamari for a gluten-free option instead of regular soy sauce.
  • Adjust the vinegar and oil ratios based on your preferred tanginess and richness.
